Honorable Noah Kennedy, Jr., page 3 (WW154) By similar reasoning the County Treasurer is the custodian of all securities belonging to the county, since the custodian would be the proper person to deliver the county's securities to the Treasurer's successor. SUMMARY The County Auditor may not remove the can- celled bond books, cancelled bonds and coupons w from the office of the County Treasurer to his own office over the objections of the County Treasurer. The County Auditor may not demand the bank statement and cancelled checks of the county's operating fund direct from the county depository. The County Treasurer is the custo- dian of the county's securities, kept at the county depository. Yours very truly, WILL WILSON Attorney General of Texas John R.
